John Ray was the compiler of these important travels. It is the first English translation of the Rauwolf who was a German physician botanist and traveller. His main notability arises from a trip he made through the Levant and Mesopotamia in 1573-75. The motive of the trip was to search for herbal medicine supplies. Shortly after he returned he published a set of new botanical descriptions with an herbarium. Later he published a general travel narrative about his visit. In addition to botanical investigations Rauwolff observed and recorded his impressions of the people customs and sights of the Levantine region; he was one of the first Europeans to describe the drinking of coffee.
